We have revisited our learning about the ‘greater than >’, ‘less than <‘ and ‘equals =’ symbols that we focused on previously. We used our trusty conkers and other equipment to help us.
Moving on from our learning about splitting carrots into parts and wholes. We have been looking at pictures and equipment to see what is a part and what is the whole. We are impressively good at this and have begun to move this knowledge on to splitting numbers! Using a lot of examples and our STEM sentences we are able to quickly see the parts and wholes. Our STEM sentences go something like this:
3 + 5 =8 (in digits or pictures)
3 is a part. 5 is a part. 8 is the whole.
2+2= 4
2 is a part. 2 is a part. 4 is the whole.
Just look at some of the fantastic examples that have been produced from Year 1!
Year 1 are growing in their knowledge and confidence in Maths. It is wonderful to see!
Help at home: Practice writing digits 0-9. We are reversing some numbers. As the year goes on we will become better at this too!
